In North Carolina, the state Medical Examiner’s Office has confirmed a white North Carolina state trooper shot 31-year-old African American Willard Scott in the back, killing him in February as he was running away from the trooper after a traffic stop in Durham. Prosecutors have not yet charged trooper Jerimy Mathis. The case is reminiscent of the police killing of Walter Scott, who was fatally shot in the back eight times while he was running away from white police officer Michael Slager in South Carolina in 2015.
